You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are right on when you say that \"the sum of\"...means to add.
\n" ); document.write( "When you see the sum of $\"a%5E2\"$ and x, it mean first find the square of a, then add the result to x.
\n" ); document.write( "For example:
\n" ); document.write( "Find the sum of $\"6%5E2\"$ and 10.
\n" ); document.write( "First square the 6 to get 36 then add this to 10 to get a total of 46 (36+10 = 46))
\n" ); document.write( "The result of adding is called the \"sum\".
\n" ); document.write( "The result of multiplying is called the \"product\".
\n" ); document.write( "The result of subtracting is called the \"difference\".
\n" ); document.write( "The result of dividing is called the \"quotient\". \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
